How come powerlifting meets are so strict on deadlift and squat ROM, but allow this?

What rule would you incorporate to make ROM like that disallowed?
Camden Roberts
No part of your back may be more than 3 inches away from the bench. Duh. Do dumbass normalcattle really have this hard of a time figuring things out? Maybe that's why they are stupid enough to find powerlifting at all interesting as a sport
Hudson Sanchez
I dont know how the fuck people do that. I cant arch my back at all benching
Levi Thomas
This is a big reason why PL gets as much shit as it does. This kind of catback shit is embarrassing
Dylan Nguyen
That dude seriously lifting 100lbs straining like that lmfao
Jaxon Jenkins
hes still setting up for the lift here
his ass isnt even on the bench, anyone willing to utilize that type of arch wouldnt bench in that position
while yes his arch is extreme he doesnt execute the bench in the same position in OPs image
Adrian Brown
Yeah and they also allow low bar "squat" and sumo "deadlifts". Powerlifting is a meme.
>inb4 weak faggot cope
I perform full ROM and still bench close grip 315 t&g, cope more
Charles Adams
That's because you're benching wrong
Cooper Butler
How long did it take you to go from 2 to 3 plate bench
asking for a friend
Jaxon Torres
That’s because your upper back is fucked from years of slouching over looking at a PC or mobile phone
Luke Hughes
Ass is off the bench so it's not legal. He is most likely mid-setup in the pic.
Kevin Miller
You'd be surprised at the ROM some people have. This bench is probably around a 2-3 inch ROM.
Aaron Edwards
ass is actually touching the bench. its legal
source:
>i bench like this lmao
Cooper Perez
No it's not. He also is in a terrible position if he actually benched like that due to 0 chance of leg drive
Christopher Martin
Yeah, shit like this is just sad "well, I'm not TECHNICALLY breaking any rules, tee hee" bullcrap.
David Thomas
That's pretty much the safest form to do bench press. The possibility of a shoulder injury is minimalistic and you have a way better control of the bench.
Robert Moore
feet are flat on the floor (setup is obviously done at this point). hes flexing his butt, quads so it portrudes a bit and touches the bench
Josiah Taylor
His entire ass is not on the bench. Not legal unless it's some shit fed with a rigged judge just trying to get his friend some decent numbers
Eli Anderson
make it so that the bar at the bottom must be lower than elbow height during lockout
Brayden Reyes
Elbows at or below shoulders akin to knees at or below hips in the squat.
Brayden Wright
what do you mean entire butt?? thats litterally impossible
Connor Hernandez
The lifter must lie on his back with head, shoulders and buttocks in contact with the bench surface.

By e-statting on the internet and proving nothing.
Blake Richardson
>knees at or below hips
Caleb Nguyen
Because the rules are:
1. head on bench
2. upper back on bench
3. ass on bench
4. some ask for heels on ground
People just found a way to bend the rules into their favor. Same thing happened when there was OHP instead of bench. Russians used to do standing incline press instead of OHP so judges couldn't properly judge the lift so they replaced it with inferior lift that is bench press. Same thing with sumo or conventional.
Henry Cooper
Also did anybody else think the thumbnail was some guy getting an atomic wedgie
Josiah Gray
I benched 225 first in March and 315 for the first time in November, both this year.
Carter Hernandez
The possibility of shoulder injury is minimal if you know how to bench going "around" the shoulder joint
Christopher Morales
Progression scheme and workout in general plox
Oliver Campbell
It's clearly over 120kg, how're you this retarded?
